It feels weird to sneak a second computer to work so I can practice in my downtime. More Python exercises completed.

Knee deep in Phase 2 of @learntocloud. Happy that my Python skills aren’t too rusty. Excited to start building some projects soon.

It’s been a minute since I’ve touched any Python. Glad to see that it isn’t completely gone. Burning through the fundamentals so I can start these projects.

Finished Phase 1 of @learntocloud. I am rusty with CTFs, but I had a lot of fun. Moving on to Phase 2!

Learning today was cool: - Brushed up on Bash - Set up my AWS CLI - Set up Terraform - Messed up setting up a CTF instance - Panicked - Read the error - Discovered that I didn’t use the proper permissions for AWS CLI - Actually solved the problem on my own

It has been a roller coaster of a summer. In the last 3 months or so I've: - Applied for a job transfer - Almost got fired for applying - Experienced tragedy - Went to therapy - Completely changed my career goals and interests - Caught Covid

Sorry folks. I am really bad at social media. A few updates: - Coworker recommended me for a data analyst job in his department. - Studying data at work while continuing my code study during off hours. - Whole family started the summer off with strep throat.

Keep those good vibes going: I am meeting with the vice president at my company about a new position that would let me play in Python and SQL all day.

Been a hell of a week. Missed a MeetUp due to staying late at work. Made a request to sit with my boss. Hopefully, I have good news going into the weekend.

I was unable to have the conversation I wanted to have yesterday. Hopefully, I'll have better luck today. If I get the go ahead, I will get paid to learn and work with Python and SQL every day.

Need some good vibes from the universe today. If a conversation goes well, it could change my career. I could get paid to learn how to code.

Trying something I saw from @madebygps. Old iPhone for music, kindle for books, computer is stripped down to developer tools. Let’s try single use devices.
